asha 80:

question on the bolded.80%? are you guys that many in your town?that is the only way i see that happening because where i am from i cannot see that happening lest you marry your cousin.

My town is relatively big. This is as far back as my dads generation though many of those in my generation tend to marry from wherever.
In my village, my dad's family were the only ones that didn't marry from the town and many are not happy with us.

Someone, not long ago, made a remark to my mum when my brother got married that she was sure I won't marry from my town as well because our legs are outside

hmm this quite different from mine as the guys in my town hardly marry from within.this even stems from my granfather's time.non of my uncles married from within.

That's the thing. Towns are different.
My mum's town is even worse; most of them married within. The funny thing about them is that they will even do their church wedding in their town, even those living abroad will return to wed in the town's church.

None of this Igbo identity issue is even an issue in Alaigbo. I don't know why diaspora Igbo like exaggerating issues because of reasons unknown.

'The Igbo language is dying' because Lagos, Abuja and US/UK Igbo children are not speaking Igbo
'Igbo people are not one' because some Igbo person insulted your town.
'There's no such word as Igbo' because you like your clans name better.

Really, all these things aren't an issue with real Igbo people in Igboland.

Asha80, explain your doubt. Wait until you see how those people are discusing the greatness of Anambra! I know those people more than you can ever know. Upper iweka road was named after the great Obosi king IWEKA. That orinmili state is a freaking joke,go and mention it at ohanaeze Ndigbo. Onitsha people are settlers,hence ana Onicha aburo nke fa. Ogbaru people on the other side are decendants of Nri,but Onicha and Ogbaru people do have similar dialects and even Obosi and Onicha almost speak identical Igbo dialects. Most of these people brewing division in Anambra has not the slightest knowledge of these people.
Do you know tha Oyi people of Anambra are OLU  people? Its more complicated than you think!! Say what you know,guys.

Anambra of 1991 or Anambra before its demarcation, or Anambra before the Nigerian government created it from the regions?

One thing is for sure, Onitsha can NEVER be carved out of Anambra else blood will flow. As simple as that.

odumchi:

Yes, I am interested and would like to find out. However, I suspect that I might already know the answer.

I will definitely answer your question, but before I answer, I'm curious to know what you think I will say. Care to tell me?

That is how things happen for diaspora populations, in general.

Asha80, do you notice something irregular about that report ? Is Igwe Achebe an Ohaneze authority ? Why would they refer to him as Ohaneze chieftain? Well, lets see how the things unfold. Again,lets see how Ohaneze handles this cause they arent the only people clamouring for state creation.
Mark my words, that orinmili will never see the day light!!!

We all know that the relation of Ngwa to Ukwuani is the same as the relation of Ngwa to Ashanti or fulani.

*nods* It's good to know you have some form of understanding regarding this.

Obiagu1, am glad somebody sees what I am seeing. Look at Onicha people wanting to suck in a saliva they just spat out with disgust!! They have figured that Onicha can never make it alone,hence their effort to drag Ogbaru people who they regard as "nwa onye Igbo". Onicha indigens has ZERO and I mean ZERO investment in Onicha metropolis!!! when I look at these fools I laugh in Biafran rage!  Usu enwero onu!

"Ngwagi diya ganwuo" is what I expected from you.

It's one of the reasons Anioma state has not been created yet. In the past, they tend to include Onitsha as their capital and it always failed.
Probably now that they have Asaba, maybe their struggle to have Anioma will come to pass and leave Onitsha were it belongs, in Anambra.

As for Oshimilli, I don't think a state with that name will ever be created.

Odumchi, it's actually still going to be "ngwam"; Ngwam diya ma agha/anwuo; Ngwam diya ga agha/anwuo. . But yeah, it's a good thing I asked you like i did though, because the response I was initially going to give would have gone off in a different direction. So yeah, ngwam diya ma agha is my response, just as you thought.

I prefer intelligent. And success in regards to wat?

Only few posts here are brilliant. Others are meant for the trash can.
Just like in espana football -Real madrid and Athletico madrid. We should have (Real ibo and Athletico ibo). . This thread is a reassurance that presidency will always elude ibos as long as there is a country called Nigeria exists. Ibos disunited

@ Abagworo,

doesn't that show how silly and deceitful you are as a person. You quoted someone who claimed to be speaking for ''Ebonyi'' and i set you straight by letting you know that an Ezza man would rather claim closeness to an Nkanu man (Enugu State) than an Afikpo man (Ebonyi State) and you diverted the subject to north and south Ebonyi.

For the record, their is nothing like north and south Ebonyi and quit trying to create unnecesary boundaries between them. Go and do that nonsense with your Imo.

You are really a silly person and should go and sit somewhere in the corner because you have no case. I bet you whine and throw tantrums over any insult hurled your way in real life and have to open a thread about it each time. You claim that a certain person insulted Imo and for that reason you ran up here to open this shrewd thread and whine that you are not accepted by other Igbos and i gladly pointed out that others also sometimes face such predicament but you never see them crying and whining like you because it is not what is obtainable in the real world and is no biggie.

Honestly, while i do not want to generalize, i am starting to believe what people say about Imo people, you people are cunning, deceitful and love creating enmity between brothers. It is a shame that you people have chosen to go down this path.

Oh and you remain Igbo whether you like it or not and nobody would ever call you anything else, you better get used to it, cretin.

If you study this thread well, you will still notice the stuf. It is everywhere. Some Igbos need to stop feeling above others. Imagine people swearing that Orinmili State will never work and confidently claiming they have been blocking Anioma State creation.The bad part of this whole issue is that the report will read "Igbos are against Anioma or Orinmili" while a vast majority of other Igbos have no issues with that.

For the Igbo project to work, all Igbos must be viewed as equal.

Abagworo,u need to man up and stop being a wimp! We Anambrarians has always being in support of Anioma state and myself has stoutly supported the idea. You know we have Anioma. People here and u want to turn them against their Anambra brothers because some Anambra people insulted ebonyians. Obiagu simply said that the reason why Anioma hasnt worked is because they were trying to make Onicha their capital!! Well, I dont know how true that is,but who in their right state of mind will make such proposals!!! I will always pull my support for Anioma state, I have zero problem with its creation and I see it happening soon!! My Anioma brother,remenber that u are of Nri stock and you all are blood brothers with Ndi Anambra and we will always stand by u. Do not listen to this idiotic,deluded Abagworo because his trying to plant the seed of division and hate amongst brothers!!
As for Orinmili, Ogbaru people and Onitsha people are all our brothers and there is no need for such demarcation. I will give my support to Igboezuo state because Orinmili is not feasible.
Abagworo, stop looking for trouble where there is non. Mind ur business!!

Onicha people are closer linked to 'Anioma' than the rest of Anambra State clans. Their clan is based there.

Remove all the 'states' and give the respective "clans" (mtchww see this word) their rightful autonomy and then we'll find the actually answer this "fusion" question.

Abagworo:

For the "Igbo Project" to work, it will need to operate in a system that is not Nigeria.
